Data on viral infections in apparently healthy snake collections in Germany were obtained with respect to husbandry conditions and health status. Samples from 100 boid snakes (from 14 collections) were examined microbiologically and for the presence of paramyxoviruses (PMVs) using RT-PCR. Blood was tested for the presence of antibodies against PMV, adenovirus and reovirus and for inclusion bodies indicative of inclusion body disease. Nine snakes tested positive for PMV, and inclusion bodies were detected in six snakes. Antibodies against PMV were found in one snake, and two snakes had antibodies against an adenovirus. A significant correlation was found between the origin of the snake and the presence of PMV, and between the presence of remarkable microbiological findings and husbandry conditions.
获得了德国明显健康蛇类收集品中病毒感染的数据，涉及饲养条件和健康状况。使用 RT-PCR 从 100 条蟒（来自 14 个收集品）中采集样本，进行微生物学和副黏病毒（PMV）检测。检测血液中 PMV、腺病毒和呼肠孤病毒抗体的存在情况，以及指示包涵体病的包涵体。9 条蛇的 PMV 检测呈阳性，6 条蛇检测到包涵体。1 条蛇的 PMV 抗体呈阳性，2 条蛇的腺病毒抗体呈阳性。发现蛇的来源与 PMV 的存在之间存在显著相关性，并且发现明显的微生物学发现与饲养条件之间存在显著相关性。
